If you work with teachers instead of students, change the questions to reflect your clientele. #MTedchat

NVradenburg - Moderator Nov 29 @ 10:04 PM EST

Question 1 is on the way… #MTedchat

NVradenburg - Moderator Nov 29 @ 10:05 PM EST

Q1: I assess (informally/formally) because ______________? #MTedchat

kelseykimpton Nov 29 @ 10:06 PM EST

A1 I want to know what to teach my kiddos and what differentiation I need to provide. #MTedchat

PrincipalNyberg Nov 29 @ 10:06 PM EST

#MTedchat A1: I hope the main reason my Ts assess is to be able to make needed instructional adjustments.

NVradenburg - Moderator Nov 29 @ 10:07 PM EST

A1 I assess to see what I need to teach and what I don’t! #MTedchat

St006C Nov 29 @ 10:07 PM EST

A1) I asses to be informed about my Ss. Much of my assess is observation #MTedchat

DJardee Nov 29 @ 10:07 PM EST

A1: I assess both ways because it is important to have a balance. More informally to guide instruction, formally for records #MTedchat

NiemeyerMr Nov 29 @ 10:08 PM EST

Travis from Billings MT K-5 principal #mtedchat

NVradenburg - Moderator Nov 29 @ 10:08 PM EST

In the primary world it is all about what we observe—how do you track it? I used to write SO many anecdotal notes! #MTedchat

A1: I assess informally because I have choice in feedback method and can instantly adjust instruction to meet students. #MTedchat

AmandaRapstad Nov 29 @ 10:17 PM EST

A2 I think S assessments are one of my biggest assessments as a T. If they didn't get it I probably didn't teach it well. #MTedchat

DJardee Nov 29 @ 10:17 PM EST

A2: Assmt depends on lrng gls and situation. My self-assmt usually is determined on student success and/or growth. #MTedchat

Absolutely! I always look at tests for the concepts I probably should teach again. #MTedchat

NVradenburg - Moderator Nov 29 @ 10:25 PM EST

Q3: How do you involve students in the assessment process? #MTedchat

cristama - Moderator Nov 29 @ 10:26 PM EST

A2: I self assess by asking for feedback. Ask: What worked for you? What could I do differently? I journal a lot. #mtedchat

DJardee Nov 29 @ 10:26 PM EST

Got this a few weeks ago. #MTedchat

justintarte Oct 17 @ 8:51 AM EDT

At your next faculty/team/department meeting, take a few moments to discuss something you've STOPPED doing as a result of self-reflection.

AcemtAndrea Nov 29 @ 10:26 PM EST

I agree! I think we've made assessment so "formal" that Ts are uncomfortable suing observational data as information. #MTedchat

Q6: If you had one tip to share about assessment, what would it be? #MTedchat

A5: Formative assessment drives interdiction during delivery and planning. More formal assessment drives system thinking. #mtedchat

A6) It is constant and is not one event. #MTedchat
